Chivichua Mts., Cochise Co, Arizona
May 23
I rose at dawn, and drove down Turkey Creek Road to Saulsbery Trail,
at the end of which I put a net
with 30's. Immediately a Mexican Jay
was captured, then released. There were
tracks of peccary in the sand there,
near a small stream. Later, a
painted redstart and an ash-throated
flycatcher were captured at this locality.
Also, a desert(?) horned lizard was
seen here. Bird 298 was used as
a decoy up the road a way, near
the junction of the road at Mormon Creek
trail, up the hill about 60 meters
on a rocky opening. Two yellow-
eyed juncos were captured there.
Also seen were a black-throated
warbler and
some gray-colored common bushtits.
No crossbills were heard or seen at
either locality, nor at the Groschert
cabin where I bathed in the creek!
I thought I saw a pair of crossbills
at the cabin at one point, but they
were probably hepatic tanagers.
Other common birds were western tanagers,
white-throated swifts, canyon wrens,
